199584 2003-12-11 20:05:00 In my add/remove programs I have 30 items all labelled "Windows XP Hotfix" followed by a number.
In my windows directory I have 27 items Labelled "$NTUninstallQ" followed by a number.
What I want to know are these items service packs, critical updates, etc. Or are they the files replaced by my updates.
In other words, ARE THEY SAFE TO DELETE ?

199585 2003-12-11 20:16:00 If you remove the files from NTUninstall you won't be able to undo any of the updates/patches. If your happy that all is well with them and need the space, wack them.

199586 2003-12-11 21:56:00 Just started to delete the hot fix files and up popped a warning saying that I was deleting the updates and that it would restore my earlier settings. So I guess they stay JJJJJ (528)
199587 2003-12-11 22:34:00 Ok leave them. Bad advice. Funny I thought you could only uninstall from add remove if it was unistallable, not all are.

You probably have a bunch of similar file in your temp directory which should be safe to delete.
